 Project Goal
Partners, Literacy NL and NL Department of Education, Adult Learning and Literacy Division developed guidelines for discussing and reaching agreement on identified accountability needs and practices.

The objectives of our project included:

Identifying and working towards a common understanding of the purpose and impact of accountability in the adult literacy field.
-
Supporting meaningful dialogue and stakeholder consultation around literacy initiatives, including the Division’s current work on a new strategic plan for adult literacy.
-
Identifying and piloting a framework for funder/provider communication and use this framework to improve communication and understanding about a mutually-identified accountability practice.
